Blue Skies, Kilpatrick Braes.
Read: Hindsight: In Search of Lost Wilderness by Jenna Watt ★★★★☆ 📚
Stimulating investigation deer in Scotland, rewilding, green lairds and the like. Fitted well with the recent episode of Scotland outdoors. Female ecologists & stalkers. A first stalk by the author.
First Primrose. A few round a wee waterfall. Some wilted by frost.
After bookmarking the Locus Sonus Stream Project the other day I saw a link to Soundcamp 2023 on Caught by the River. This lead to:
REVEIL 10 – Call | Announce
Saturday 6 to Sunday 7 May 2023
On Dawn Chorus Day, Reveil will make its tenth annual day-long loop of earth, travelling west on live audio feeds sent in by streamers around sunrise.
from: REVEIL 24+1 hour daybreak broadcast — Call | Announce
There seems to be several ways to join in, Raspberry Pis, computers and mobiles. Looks like icecast technology.
I would be quite interested in joining in. Dawn is around 5:30am in Glasgow on the 6th April.
Some of the locations on the Locus Sonus Stream Project make nice background noise, birds and burns from around the world.
BBC Scotland – The Women Who Changed Modern Scotland
Really proud of Christine @cmdjohnston who edit-produced an episode of this series.
Locus Sonus Stream Project offers a worldwide network of "open mikes" that permanently stream local soundscapes to a dedicated server. The resulting live audio is used in a large variety of artistic projects. The microphones are installed and maintained by volunteer participants.
Looks really interesting.
#SilentSunday
Walk round Ardinning this afternoon. Quite still, some sun 7°C, almost spring like. Goldeneye and wigeon on the loch, a few roe and the croak of a raven.
First walk in a while over a couple of Glen Finlas hills. Even though we cut it short I was pretty puffed on the up! Saw my first snow bunting in the clouds.
